‘Are those Tom Ford glasses?’: $50m Lance Armstrong joins $50bn social media space as fans can’t stop laughing | Rare Techy

Former cyclist Lance Armstrong lives a quiet life after distancing himself from the cycling industry. Lance was a budding cyclist who could have made a name for himself in his dedicated sport. However, a 2010 drug incident killed Lance’s cycling career. After so many years, Lance is living his life investing his time in different things. Also, one of his recent attempts made his comments section hilarious.

Lance started riding a bike at the age of 16. He originally started competing as a triathlete. In 1989 and 1990, Lance became the national champion of the triathlon sprint course. Later, the young cyclist joined the Motorola team professionally in 1992. In addition, between 1993 and 1996, he achieved great success in competitions such as the MM, Clásica de San Sebastián and Tour DuPont.

What recently attracted followers of Lance Armstrong?

Lance Armstrong is discovering new things in life right now. In one of his recent attempts, he announced on his Instagram that he has joined the $50 billion social media space TikTok.

The former cyclist announced this by posting a video with his friends. In the video, Lance wore stylish glasses and asked his friend:

“Courtney, what’s up, what’s on today?”

He answers:

“I think today is the day we get you on TikTok.”

Hearing the term TikTok, Lance seems to be unaware of the social media platform. He then asks another friend of his named Cam.

“Cam, have you heard of…what is it called again?….TikTok…Have you heard of TikTok?”

Camera responses:

“Yes, brother!”

Listening to Cam, Lance looks taken aback but agrees to join TikTok. He accepts this by saying:

“Okay, we’ll get to TikTok or TikTok or TikTok.”
